This book should be mandatory reading. Such a heartbreaking and powerful look at the US’ broken and racist policing, incarceration, and housing systems. Even though this is largely a story about oppression, oppressed people, and oppressive systems, the characters aren’t portrayed as victims or without agency. Thomas wrote such depth and empathy into every character, I felt like I really got to know every person in the book and better understand the complexities of the moment we’re in.

Este libro me abrió los ojos de muchas maneras. No solo por la fuerte temática que toca, sino porque se puede interpretar en mil formas más de desigualdad, racismo e intolerancia.
La historia de Starr me tocó profundamente, ella solo quería ser una chica normal, pero le resultaba imposible serlo por las dos vidas que vivía. Fue muy triste y a la vez gratificante ir viendo la evolución del personaje y cómo realmente convirtió su voz en un arma poderosa.
Es un libro imperdible, la prosa de Angie Thomas es excelente. Te atrapa en la historia y a la vez te hace tener que parar en ocasiones para: 1.- asimilar lo que pasaba y 2.- entender que no es solo ficción.
De mis libros favoritos del año, hasta el momento. Excelente historia y además al hacerlo en lectura conjunta fue todavía más bonito.

Wow
Decisamente wow, non ho altre parole per descrivere questo titolo
È stato magnifico, davvero. Ho provato così tante emozioni durante la lettura, dalla rabbia, alla tristezza, alla gioia, come poche volte prima.
Il tema trattato e il messaggio che l'autrice vuole mandare è troppo importante per non essere lento e capito.
